I haven't really told anyone this, but I've started writing. I've always written this blog, but now I'm writing stories too. I have a lot of stories in my head and I guess I just needed to get them on paper (er, on disk) while my brain is still working.

Today I finished my first short story (though it's on the long side of short, so it's more of a novella). I think I'll edit it a few more times, let a few friends read it, then sent it off to a magazine or anthology for publication. I will get rejected, and I really have no idea what I'm doing here, but it's worth a try. Something to get my mind off of psychology once in a while, anyway.

And hey, maybe someone will like it, and I'll become rich and famous. There are plenty of best-selling books that are poorly written but have good ideas, so you never know. When I am famous, you can say you read my blog when I was just a wee lad, and sell all the embarassing secrets that I shared here to tabloids. Lucky you!

BUT SERIOUSLY, I might post a story or two here someday, when one is totally finished. I'll have to make it clear that this doesn't count as publishing...so that people can pay me millions of dollars for publishing them elsewhere.

About Phronk

My name is Mike. Some people call me Phronk. I'm a person, and I live in London, Ontario, Canada. I write a lot, hence the blog, but also do a lot of other stuff, including: eating, reading, watching stuff on screens, sleeping, using web sites, and walking. I have a PhD in psychology, which is why I'm so smart and you have to call me "doctor." I research and analyze technology for a living. Now you know everything about me.
